Alcina / Opéra National de Bordeaux

“South African soprano Elza van den Heever played Alcina. She is an important soprano of our times, a lyric-spinto, and she has a great future ahead of her…Elza van den Heever was an exciting Alcina, more powerful than moving, and at her best in the more dramatic moments.”

José Ma Irurzun, Seen and Heard International

Rinaldo / Lyric Opera of Chicago

“As Armida, the bright-voiced, fearless soprano Elza van den Heever stole every scene she was in, especially the end of Act II, in which the thwarted Armida sings a fiery aria of defiance, “Vo’ far guerra.”

Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times
